“The final work is Steve Cohen’s Trio for flute, alto saxophone and piano. It’s cast in three conventional movements. The first is refined, almost Gallic, though there are sparkling exchanges. The central movement is a blues, the flute stating the themes with the tenor counter-theming and then the two instruments entwining over the piano. The finale is lyrical and vibrant with a ‘Fast Afro-Cuban Feel’, as instructed by the composer.”

“…an attractive and quite tuneful, sometimes dance-y new Trio for Flute, Alto Saxophone and Piano (2019) by Steve Cohen…”
